Refinery-ready biocrude for today’s infrastructure

Alder Renewables develops technology that harnesses abundant, sustainable biomass to produce low-carbon renewable crude oil compatible with today’s infrastructure. Alder is uniquely positioned to enable existing refineries to produce advanced biofuels at a fraction of the capital and operating cost.​

Alder produces drop-in renewable crude oil for today’s refineries and marine fuel supply​

Our proprietary technology transforms abundant, sustainable biomass into infrastructure-ready biocrudes, delivering a full portfolio of renewable fuels without costly refinery investments​

The Problem

Refiners Face Low Carbon Crunch​

Sustainable feedstock supply shortage intensified by growing global demand

The Result

Stalled projects and unmet demand​

Lack of feedstock to meet mandates​
Waste feedstock growth driven by primary feedstock demand, not biofuel market​
Expanding supply vs. demand gap​
Gap between supply and demand reaches 27 million tonnes of waste feed by 2035​
-Argus March 2025​
High capital costs stunt projects ​
Refiners canceling costly capital projects, stalling other renewable technologies​

The Solution

Alder Unlocks a New Supply Chain​

Meet current & future biocrude oil supply needs. No billion-dollar refinery conversion​

Use abundant, sustainable biomass
Meet mandates profitably with residual forest feedstocks in North America and EU ​

Cost leader that can scale
High efficiency and low cost of production outperform alternative technologies

Minimal refinery investment
Leverage existing equipment to expand production & realize economies of scale

Strategic Partners

We work with industry, government, and academics to accelerate our technology commercialization​

Recent Highlights

Building momentum with technology validation, strategic partnerships, and new projects​

New SAF project with Boeing and Bioénergie

Together with Boeing and Bioénergie AE Côte-Nord, we are launching Project Avance to produce SAF from sawmill residues in Port-Cartier, Québec. Boeing is investing CAD $10 million in the project as part of its Industrial and Technological Benefits commitment to Canada. The project will use Alder’s technology to produce Alder Renewable Crude (ARC) for hydrotreating into SAF and other hydrocarbon fuels.

Low-Carbon Marine Fuels with Quadrise

Through a Joint Development Agreement with Quadrise, Alder is demonstrating Alder Pyrolytic Sugars (APS) as a renewable feedstock for advanced marine fuels. By combining our biomass conversion technology with Quadrise’s bioMSAR™ platform, the collaboration aims to deliver a scalable and cost-effective pathway to decarbonize the shipping industry—one of the hardest sectors to abate.

Coprocessing ARC with Fluid Catalytic Cracking

With NREL and industry partners, Alder has demonstrated that Alder Renewable Crude (ARC) can be co-processed in a pilot Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) unit to produce gasoline, jet, diesel, and marine fuels in high yield and high quality. The next steps under evaluation is commercial-scale FCC trials with industry partners, paving the way for rapid deployment of low-carbon fuels using existing refinery infrastructure.
